A complete Neolithic endscraper dating to c. 4000-2400 BC. The end scraper is made from a tertiary flake of flint that is a matte light brown sometimes semi-glossy medium brown semi-translucent flint. It is broadly recyangular in plan and trapezoidal in cross section the ventral surface being wider than the dorsal surface. It has at least three earlier flake removal scars on the dorsal surface struck in the same direction as the scraper. Its distal end has medium length, semi-abrupt, parallel retouch across its length. No retouch exists on the ventral surface altho…

A flint tool, taking the form of a serrated blade, probably dating from the Late Mesolithic to the Neolithic period, c. 7000-2351 BC. The blade is made from a tertiary flake of mid grey flint with a band of darker grey cutting diagonally through it. It is an elongated leaf shape in plan, and is slightly concave on one side and convex on the other. The dorsal face has a ridge running lengthwise slightly off centre. The flake is 36.16mm long, 16.58mm wide, and 0.75mm thick. It weighs 3.86 grams.
